It was meant to allow one side to veto something that they believe would seriously harm the peace process or cause severe political or community instability. Instead they are using it to prevent people getting married to placate their extremely religious voter base. Quite sickening really.

It must seem obvious therefore that the DUP would veto a decision on a united
Ireland if ever there was a vote on the issue.

The difficulty is that international human rights law has not kept pace with evolving public opinion, especially amongst the younger generations, that civil marriage to a partner by mutual agreement should be available to all.

The Court (Judge O’Hara) leaves the issue to the Northern Ireland Assembly as a domestic legislative issue although it is clear that he would prefer that same sex civil marriage be available.

We’re, what, 2 years into Ireland’s marriage equality vote and all of a sudden it the most progressive society on earth? You seem to have a short memory – NI decrimilised homosexuality over a decade before, introduced civil unions years before and when they did introduce it they had to sense to make it EQUAL to marriage – there isn’t 160 differences between civil unions and marriage like there was in Ireland. Equal marriage is overwhelmingly supported by the people of NI as every poll proves, but don’t let the facts get in the way of your self affirming pat on the back and anti-northern dig disguised as ‘concern’ for lgbt people.

I just can’t comprehend how you can give a marraige certificate to a straight couple but not to a gay couple who are in love. ‘Ideals’ are simply created by society, but it shouldnt be at the cost of oppression. Who in the first place said let’s give this group rights but not this group, as if that group was supreme! It’s completely heterosexual supremacy.
